A multi-day storm dropped up to a foot of snow on parts of Michigan, causing crashes and spinouts on roadways. Snowfall began Tuesday and continued Thursday morning.

We listened to their music as we drove home from school or cleaned our rooms or feigned finishing algebra homework – or kissed our first sweethearts. The Everly Brothers’ smooth voices eased some of our adolescent days with their cool crooning; music that remains imprinted on our hearts.
Phil Everly, 74, one half of the singing duo, has passed away from chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD).
Bye, bye, love.
